Replacement axle and motor help for JJRC Q65
Edit: Seems to be the MN-45 / WPL C34.
I have three of these now (all dead), different bodies but looks like the same drivetrain. First one, a FJ45 body, I drove on sand and stripped the rear differential. The second, a Defender body (MN-90), my son burnt the motor or ESC. The third, a Jeep body, I put in a 7.4v lipo and killed the ESC/motor. All three have slightly different suspensions and the Jeep has different electronics (uses 4.8v battery and the remote has bunch of controls). The FJ45 and Defender have good articulation and I really like how they run so I was looking at fixing/upgrading the axle/diff to metal ones and the motor to something more durable.
Trouble is, I can't seem to find the right axles. For example, the rear axle measures 137mm, end to end. I ordered upgrade/metal axles for the 1:12 truck (also sold as upgrades for D90/91) and those are narrow and the axle housing mounts don't line up. I looked into 1/10 axles and they seem to be too wide. If I search for MN-90 axles (since the Defender is sold as MN-90), the options shown seem to be narrower than what's on the truck. Can someone please point me to the right replacement/upgrade axles (complete with housing) for these trucks?
Sorry! Had to defang URLs since I don't have 10 posts yet on the forum.
This is the replacement I bought and turned out to be slightly narrower:

The FJ45 I got:
www. ebay. com/itm/FJ-45-Off-road-Pickup-1-12-Truck-Crawler-4WD-RTR-Off-Road-Remote-Control-RC-Car/233178160146
Defender (says MN-90 in description):

Jeep:

Small differences, the Jeep is better built in the sense it has a metal frame and driveshafts are removable with a small hex screw but the leaf suspension doesn't flex much and it takes 4.8v battery which I found very odd. The FJ45 and Defender are almost identical, I believe (sorry, posting from work and don't have them in front of me, right now).
Would love to upgrade axles and motor on these. Thanks.
